# Shot Lister vs Clapper!

The clearest difference is ads: Shot Lister at none against Clapper!'s shown. Shot Lister also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (200 vs 4). Clapper!'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shot Lister sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and Clapper! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clapper! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shot Lister has 200 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Shot Lister's written reviews are positive against 100% of Clapper!'s.

Shot Lister ships an update fortnightly, Clapper! every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
